About Mrs. Hawkins

My Pic

My name is Kimberli Hawkins.  I grew up in Provo, just a few miles from Franklin Elementary.  I attended Timpanogos Elementary School, Dixon Junior High (now Dixon Middle School) and Provo High School. 

 

After high school I attended Utah Valley Community Colllege (now Utah Valley State College) and received my one-year certificate in Early Childhood Education, and an Associate of Science Degree. 

I spent a year at the University of Utah working on my education degree before I transferred to Weber State University’s elementary education program.  I graduated from Weber State University in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education. 

 

I substituted for a year at Franklin Elementary and then I was hired to teach 4th grade in 1995.  I taught 4th grade for 10 years.  I then changed grades and taught 3rd grade for three years.  This year I decided to move back to 4th grade.  I am really excited to teach 4th grade again!

 

I have finished my ESOL endorsement, my keyboarding endorsement, and my technology endorsement.   I am currently an eMints teacher.

 

My family is very important to me.  I am the oldest of 4 children.  I have 2 brothers and 1 sister.  My husband and I live in Provo with our two daughters Kaitlyn and Brecka.  Lucky for me, my entire family lives in Provo!! 

 

I enjoy laughing, learning new things, writing, photography and scrapbooking, cooking, working and creating in my classroom, family vacations, and spending time with my family!

 

Another passion I have is reading!!  I love to read!! A few of my favorite authors are; J.K Rowling and Sharon CreechMy favorite picture book authors are Patricia Polacco, Jan Brett, and Robert Munsch.
